I know it may just seem like marketing, but the whitepapers that MySQL
publishes about MySQL 5 have some references, as does their website, to large
organizations handling lots of data. Some of them mention numbers, some do
not.
One of my prior employers had several million *tables* before I had left, and
it handled everything w/o a hitch. And this was way back on version 3.23!
Sasha: any good references you can think of?
You could always email MySQL and ask for some references. I'm sure they'd be
happy to help promote your cause.
